The winter sports are one fewer this week, as wrestling held its team championship meet over the weekend. Basketball enters the final full week of the regular season, while swimming concludes on Tuesday and hockey is just about done. Monday’s games, and possibly others later in the week, could be affected by weather.

The Sals, meanwhile, are looking to bounce back from a loss after three straight wins.
